[vcf-midatlantic] VCF Flea Market

[Dave Shevett]

The real challenge with the model III and IV is they're bulky as heck.  I
am absolutely hoping to have one or both in my collection, but they take up
a lot of space.

And Bob, I absolutely love the WLTC but it's so niche and I've put a lot of
money into other things I'm wrestling with justifying investing in another
magnificent museum piece.  :)
